libdl

Synopsis

cc [ flag... ] file... -ldl [ library... ]

Description

Historically, functions in libdl provided for dynamic linking support. This functionality now
resides in libc(3LIB).

This library is maintained to provide backward compatibility for both runtime and
compilation environments. The shared object is implemented as a filter on the
runtime linker. See ld.so.1(1). New application development need not specify -ldl.

INTERFACES

The shared object libdl.so.1 provides the following public interfaces. See Intro(3) for
additional information on shared object interfaces.
